Review of Kingfisher House Care Home from A A (Daughter of Resident) published on 13 July 2026 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

In some cases, there are not enough care staff to be fully functional for the care of some patients. I have found that some care staff do not check if a patient in their care has deficated/soiled the disposable pants (not nice to be sitting in dirty underware as it can cause sores on the bottom and not a nice odour either. Some like to choose what they want to wear, but often do not get the choice.

Review of Kingfisher House Care Home from David M (Son of Resident) published on 7 July 2026 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
Like all establishments, there is room for improvement But generally the care home does a reasonable job under some-times difficult circumstances.

This review is based on what I or my wife have experienced, not my mother therefore it represents an opinion from outsider looking in not a residents experience.

Reply from Nelsie Palisoc, Deputy Manager at Kingfisher House Care Home

Hi David, thank you for your review of our home. Warm regards, Nelsie

Review of Kingfisher House Care Home from Cathy E (Daughter of Resident) published on 18 March 2026 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Kingfisher House is an amazing place. I cannot find fault at all. My mum has lived here for 18 months and is happy, well cared for, treated with respect and compassion. I was impressed when I first met the manager, Alastair, and he came to visit my mum in her old home. He understood her communication difficulties and it was clear he understood well that this was not a measure of her intelligence. I have seen the culture of treating all residents by all staff as individuals, and I cannot explain how important that is to me. Thank you.

Reply from Luminita Nicoleta-Safta, Operations Director at Kingfisher House Care Home

Thank you for sharing this, it really means a lot to us.

It's so lovely to hear that your mum has been happy and well cared for over the past 18 months, and that she's been treated with the respect and understanding she deserves. Taking the time to truly see each person as an individual is...

Review of Kingfisher House Care Home from Penny T (Daughter of Resident) published on 29 January 2026 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My mothers stay at Kingfisher House was sadly short but throughout her stay I could not fault the way she was cared for. She was looked after with dignity and respect despite being extremely poorly. During the final hours of her life, when I was with her throughout. The care, empathy and professionalism from the team both during the day and night was exemplary and I am personally very grateful to everyone who looked after her.

Reply from Alistair Rayner, Home Manager at Kingfisher House Care Home

Thank you for your heartfelt review. It was our privilege to bring you both comfort at such a difficult time. Alistair and team

Review of Kingfisher House Care Home from Diane F (Daughter of Resident) published on 8 January 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Both my parents were in Kingfisher since the beginning of the year. Sadly dad died in October and mum still lives there.
I cannot begin to praise all the staff enough. Everybody is always so helpful and dad received the best care at the end of his life, mum is struggling to come to terms with this but the staff are always there for her.
When we visit we usually get tea or coffee and biscuits, the staff know us by name, it is like a big family. Our dog, Wolfie is a regular visitor too.
I have to mention the entertainment ladies, Magda and Opal, my dad adored them and they made his last months full of fun, including trips to the local pub, BBQS at the home, he had a wonderful time.

In conclusion Kingfisher home is amazing.

Reply from Alastair Rayner, Home Manager at Kingfisher House Care Home

Thank you for sharing your kind words. I am pleased to hear that your parents felt well cared for at Kingfisher House. Best wishes, Alastair

Review of Kingfisher House Care Home from Maureen P (Partner of Resident) published on 23 December 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
A lovely visit with friendly and helpful staff as always. We were treated to a party in the lounge as is usual on Wednesdays with a screening of a Christmas movie that I had not seen before and really enjoyed. We had a gorgeous hot creamy Christmas drink and an enormous helping of chocolate cake.
It was a really nice afternoon.

Thank you all at Kingfisher.

Overall Experience
My father moved into Kingfisher House in November 2024.
His care during his stay was excellent. The staff could not have been more caring and patient.

During his final hours they were very supportive of the family and attended in all dad's needs. I would not hesitate to recommend Kingfisher house.
